Thank you for the compliments...my daughter in N.C. had asked me if I wanted to do it with her...we do things together alot this way, even though we're a few states apart. She hasn't even started it yet. I figured if I didn't get it done right away, it wouldn't get done. I haven't shown it to my grandson yet, but I know he will love it. Doing a mystery, you don't know what you're doing till the end...I guess my picking the masculine pallet must mean that this quilt was meant for him! :lol:
